On the 16th August 2022 Jessica sadly passed away aged 34 of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia she was the most beautiful, amazing and courageous daughter anyone could wish for and what I would give to have her back in our lives she took a piece of me with her. Our lives are just simply not the same anymore and it is not right.

She was taken from us far too soon and we struggle to come to terms with this every day there is a long road on learning to live with this. This is something no parent should have to endure.

I will be marking this day in memory of my daughter by doing a Parachute Jump and if I am up in the sky I will be closer to her.

I know Jessica would laugh at me for this and say Mother have you gone completely mad, well maybe I have as I will also be walking alongside Jessica's dear friend Sonia who has been my rock the Night Shine Walk in London of 26 miles on the 23rd September again this will be in memory of my daughter a page will be set up for that at a later date and I will post the link.

This will give me something to focus on and give me some strength in raising funds for this dreadful disease.  I hope I can go above and beyond my target for Jessica and raise much needed funds for research into better treatments and cure so people will not suffer like Jessica did which was awful as her Mother to watch how it affected her.

We made the best from her bucket list and it was priceless to see a smile on her face enjoying herself and I truly from the bottom of my heart thank everyone for that. Jessica had a blast, but sadly she was unable to complete this she missed out by two weeks. But we will complete this for her this year. I will be updating on the tracks that we visit.

So here we go so excited to be able to do this on Jessica's Heavenly Anniversary.

Jessicas' memory will live on forever in our hearts.

I love you Jess forever missed xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thank you to all of you for helping me reach the Target so very much appreciated. I'd like to go onwards and upwards for Jess she would have been made up.

The theme on the 16th August is pink. This was Jessica's favourite colour it was also clearly visible at her funeral. If everyone could wear something pink, take a photo and send it to me please.

Let's wear pink for Jess x
